Two longtime Richmond non-profits have joined forces this week.
Volunteer Richmond Information Services (VRIS) and the Richmond Community Foundation (RCF) have entered into a "collaborative agreement".
"These are two organizations with a long history in Richmond," said Lawrie Portigal, VRIS president.
"The Community Foundation raises money for worthy causes, while Volunteer Richmond mobilizes people and gets them involved in their community. Both organizations are capacity builders, so this is a perfect fit."
Last September, VRIS and RCF commissioned a study to determine if their working relationship could be taken any further.
"We see this as a chance to broaden our impact," said Sylvia Gwozd, RCF chair.
